"Jesus, said to him,
'You must love the
Lord your God with
all your heart, with
all your soul, and
with all your mind.
This is the greatest
and the first
commandment.
The second resembles
it: You must love
your neighbor as
yourself. On these
two commandments
hang the whole
Law, and the
Prophets too.'"—

- Matthew 22:37-40

The Catholic Foundation of Vancouver Island is a charitable entity with a
vision of islanders living vibrantly the teachings of Jesus.

These islanders are spread over an area of about 95,000 square kilometers in
28 parishes across Vancouver Island and the islands off the west and east
coasts that are within the Victoria diocese’s area.

The foundation’s sole responsibility today is to nurture and shepherd an endowment — income earned from donations given — fund that enables
the foundation to give grants prudently to organizations, institutions,
groups or individuals to help them undertake spiritual, educational, social,
and charitable projects and programs that help islanders live vibrantly the
teachings of Jesus.

The endowment fund enables generous individual donors to build an
unnamed personal legacy, or a named personal legacy for a single donation
of $50,000: because their donations are prudently invested and only the
interest earned annually is used for grants. That is the foundation’s goal.

Thus a donation is a personal legacy that keeps on giving year after year
after year.
